Turn10, Compulsion, Ninja Theory, Double Fine, The Initiative, Arkane Austin, Tango... I guess what they really meant by bring Xbox back was bringing the Don Mattrick era back.

Halo Studios dissout
Turn10 disparait
Ninja Theory va sûrement fermer
Arkane toujours menacé
Obsidian rejoint Bethesda
Rare rejoint Activision

Continuing Our Reset
This message was just sent to Team XBOX employees globally. Team, I’m writing to share several updates as part of the XBOX reset outlined earlier this year. First, we are eliminating 268 roles across ...

Their only play has ever been to outspend the competition

Buy Rare, buy Minecraft, buy Bethesda, buy Activision

Initiative? Gone
Halo/343? Gone
Turn10? Gone

268 personnes virées.

Rare, World Edge et Halo Studios qui passent sous la direction d'Activision.

Ninja Theory qui va probablement fermer.

Turn10 absorbé par Playground Games.

Obsidian qui passe sous l'ombrage Bethesda.

L'impression de voir un gâteau être découpé pour une future revente 👀
Xbox is laying off 268 people today across Halo Studios, first-party, and management and Ninja Theory is entering consultation as the division's big "reset" continues. https://kotaku.com/xbox-reset-268-laid-off-ninja-theory-halo-activision-2000736434
Xbox Lays Off 268 As 'Reset' Continues
Halo will now be developed by Activision, while 343 retains a small support team for existing games

New mass layoffs and studio closures at Xbox

Halo studios seems done with Halo being moved elsewhere, turn10 absorbed by playground, Ninja theory shut down despite previous announcements

Turn10 (Forza Motorsport) aurait perdu la moitié de ses employés. Raven, premier studio AAA syndiqué aux États-Unis serait aussi touché
Many of Xbox's subsidiaries are getting hit by the layoffs this morning, including Call of Duty studios such as Raven. Big cuts at Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 - nearly 50% of staff, per source.

yeah that ship sailed a while back. The sales for sim racing just wasn't worth the squeeze when Horizon doing significant numbers. They had already turned Turn10 into a support studio.
September 22, 2026 at 2:30 PM
In some ways this could be good. The fact that Turn10 and Playground are now one studio gives me hope that Blind Drive Assist can survive, but with layoffs, a lot of that knowledge base is gone. Same with some of the folks in ABK. It's just a big mess right now.

👋🏼 hi gamedev bluesky

I’m going to introduce myself since we’re all migrating—I’m an SMM who’s been at these places:

👾 Bungie
👾 Respawn
👾 PlayStation
👾 Xbox
👾 Turn10
👾 ProbablyMonsters

If we’re mutuals on Twitter like this or say hi so I can find you!!

Forza Motorsport 4 is the superior game overall, yes, but Turn10 would simply never make an entire ideal indoor kart track with cocktail tables and lighting.

Turn10's latest Forza Motorsport update celebrates the franchise's 20th anniversary! That means new cars, the Fujimi Kaido race track, racing meetups, AI updates, and loads more. Check it out: 2game.me/4iUBL1H

Fondre Turn10, artisan initial d'une des autres rares marques MS dans le studio héritier de leur travail parce que quoi, un épisode a moins bien marché ? Renvoyer Obsidian chez Bethesda après le divorce culturel consommé entre les deux entités ? Tout est stupidement dramatique.

#Microsoft WOULD do a "Layoff Direct" and it would go something like this:

"Some exciting news from our friends at Turn10. It has been responsible for Forza, a multi-million $ IP. Today, we are pleased to announce that Turn10 will finally be true, as we will downsize the company to just 10 people."
July 2, 2025 at 8:22 AM
Apparently Microsoft fired the entire Forza Motorsport team and Turn10 is now only doing support for Forza Horizon. What a shame
July 8, 2025 at 11:47 PM
This is Gorgeous!!

Turn10.... I'm very impressed!!

He says 'racers' because he's referencing Turn10 and Forza Motorsport 2023.

Meaning he KNOWS that has nothing to do with politics, or wokeness, or anything like that. It was a bad game because of capitalism; because every 18 months they rotated everyone out like temps.
July 3, 2025 at 3:03 PM
it's kind of horrifying watching the pressure mount on playground games for More Forza Horizon Content as someone who's played literally since motorsport 1, especially after having seen turn10 get decimated and turned into a support studio for maintaining ForzaTech
Time to update the image.
- Red X's are for closures
- Blue circles for mass layoffs
- and I want to emphasize that going indie or being sold off presents all new forms of financial instability so those are not exactly positive either.

Force à tout les devs impactés. Pas étonné de la fusion Turn10/Playground nonobstant. J'ai aussi l'impression que Obsidian sous égide Bethesda ça permet cyniquement de faire un "joli package" le jour où ça voudra revendre le tout au plus offrant... 343 Industries totalement vidé c'est déprimant...
"Activision will expand its remit to World’s Edge, as well as Rare. Activision will also be developing the next Halo title, led by a new, purpose-built team that is separate from ongoing development and plans for Call of Duty."
September 22, 2026 at 2:18 PM
9000 is company wide. Off those it looks like hundreds are from the gaming division (seems to be around 800 max across Zenimax/Halo/Turn10/Rare/The Initiative).
The only known numbers right now are 70 at Turn10 & 200 at King.

Another studio drastically hurt by Xbox pulling out of the industry

In the last two years:
Crystal dynamics, avalanche Studios, tango game works, turn10, arkane Austin, the initiative, RARE, raven software, ZeniMax Online Studios, high moon, sledgehammer games, Romero games, and Halo Studios
Avalanche Studios (Contraband, Just Cause) will close its Liverpool studio and reduce its workforce in Malmo and Stockholm avalanchestudios.com/stories/stud...

PG and Turn10 together is stupid. More layoffs incoming. The next Halo game by Activison, look forward to even worse Halo reception than what we currently have. I don’t think they have what it takes to make a Halo game feel different than CoD

A special #forzahorizon5 collectible: Playground Games and Turn10 employees shipping gift. Featuring the #MercedesAMG One, the cover car. Just a little over a week for our #ps5 friends to join the Horizon festival in #Mexico !

Not sure who’ll get hit then. Turn10 and TI? CD is doing most of the dev of PD.
